Can I register .ltd.uk, .plc.uk, .gov.uk, and .ac.uk domain names through you?


Due to the registrars involved, the registration procedures for these particular domain extensions is different from the other .uk domains.

.ltd.uk and .plc.uk can be registered from another registrar.  Both of these domain extensions are restricted SLDs, available only to registrants that can meet the criteria required by Companies House, which ensures that companies are always able to have a domain name which closely matches their company name.

.gov.uk and .ac.uk are administered by JANET, and you can read more about the eligibility requirements and apply for your domain name through JANET’s website: https://www.ja.net/products-services/janet-connect/dns-domain-name-allocation.

Once you have purchased your domain name, you can host your website with Heart Internet by pointing the nameservers of your domain to your domain reference on your Heart Internet account.
